You doubled the price of my A/C recharge that you quoted me why?
So it goes like this. I call in and talk to Lenny, a not so friendly older gentleman on the phone and explain my issue. Its an Acura that the freon was accidentally released out of during the changing of some valve cover gaskets. I knew the car just needed to be recharged and then it would be good to go. His response was well i dont know how much freon would be needed but chances are you would be looking at $65-$70. I said no problem since the going rate is from $50-80 depending where you go so the car went to the shop the very next day.
Upon arrival i talked to Lenny, and said we spoke yesterday and he remembered me so i thought great we are on the same page. Let me sow you where the freon was released from and you can take it from there. He gave me a quote $160, and i said whatever the hell for. And the response was well i said i didnt know how much freon the car needed. They tacked on another $3 for an o ring that didnt need to be replaced and $15 for the all of 3 minutes it took to install it UNBELIEVABLE!
My bill is this
Freon $60
Oil & Dye $29.95
O-Ring $4.00
Labor $60
with tax $7.61
$161.56
I obviously tried to have words with the guy but hes got you buy the nuts as its 110 degrees out and your car needs to be fixed so your not gonna dye of heat stroke driving to work. I do all my own work on my cars except the items that i do not have the proper tools to do like properly charge the AC system, and this is why i do my own work for crooked dishonest mechanics like this.
STAY AWAY!
